Question #
E4.1b – Tracking Sub-Metered Use
Question
Was any sub-metered energy use data tracked before and during Covid?
Applicability
Office, Healthcare, Enclosed Shopping Centre, Universal, Multi-Unit Residential Building, Light Industrial
Tenant occupied building
Answer & Scoring
- Yes = 2 points
- No = 0 points
- Not Applicable – Owner/landlord occupied building OR Building built during or after the year 2022 = 0/0
Max of 2 points
Requirements
For any sub-metered energy data available:
- Provide monthly sub-metered energy data in table format – see BOMA BEST Form E1.0b
- Provide energy sub-meter details, such as make, model, location, photo and year of installation
- Indicate whether any energy is generated and used on-site and whether that use has been sub-metered
Applicants do not need to provide data for all five previous years. Provide the following, at a minimum:
- data from one year before Covid, i.e. any time between 2017 and 2019
AND
- data from one year during Covid, i.e. any time between 2020 and 2022
OR
- Documentation demonstrating that the building was built during or after the year 2022
Documentation
- Most sub-metered energy use before Covid (2017 – 2019) and during Covid (2020 – 2022)
- Narrative of data collection methodology and sub-meter data, if available
OR
- Documentation demonstrating that the building was built during or after the year 2022
Suggested Lead
In-house
Value
- The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on building energy use
- Analyze sub-metered energy data to better understand energy consumption associated with individual energy intensive systems and tenants before and after the COVID-19 pandemic
- Determine how energy use has changed since the pandemic to assess if the building is on track to achieve their energy reduction goals
- Building management teams are encouraged to document the building’s sub-metering practices using the BOMA BEST Form – E1.0
Description
Sub-meters measure the energy consumption of specific areas or equipment, providing property owners and managers with the ability to understand where and how building energy is being used.
